Default Battery terminal corrosion

What?s the best anti corrosion stuff to use on your battery terminals? I broke out my boast today and got it cleaned up, but the onboard charger wouldn?t work from bad connections. I worked them over with a wire wheel on my drill, and now the just need a good protective coating to keep the rust away.

I saw the other day where grease was used. Had never heard of doing that but seemed like a good idea

I bought a new battery for my truck at auto zone a few months back and they gave me a little pack of grease to apply to the battery posts.

For the fuse box and other electrical components that works great but not for battery terminals. The corrosion on battery terminals comes from the acid fumes from the battery and needs an oil or grease protection. The best I have found is NOCO pads applied first then topped with NOCO grease initially and once a year thereafter.

I've been using a product called Q-Salt and it seems to work pretty well...
